São Paulo State University (UNESP)
Grant #2017/09676-8
Rio Claro, SP, Brazil
2017 - 2018
Title: Effect of Landscape Modifications and Climate Changes on the Persistence of Amphibians in the Atlantic Forest
Aim: (1) to present an assessment of the surveys of the amphibian communities for the Atlantic Forest, their composition and distribution; (2) to investigate how habitat loss and fragmentation on the regional scale can affect the current persistence of amphibians from different reproductive guilds; and (3) to investigate how climate change may affect the future persistence of amphibians of the genus Brachycephalus, considered highly sensitive to these climatic changes
Scientific Initiation Scholarship
São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) (BRL 10,539.87)
São Paulo State University (UNESP)
Grant #2013/02883-7
Rio Claro, SP, Brazil
2013 - 2015
Title: Effect of fragmentation on the persistence of anuran amphibians (Amphibia: Anura) within the Atlantic Forest
Aim: (1) model the potential distribution based on the environmental suitability of the species of interest; (2) identify landscapes with high environmental suitability and surveys with high sampling effort in order to characterize the regional anurofauna; and (3) evaluate the relative contribution of landscape indices (percentage of forest cover, connectivity, relief and urban proximity) to the persistence of species using model selection for multiple competing hypotheses based on Akaike information theory
